I am not trying to be critical, but I have some questions about the posting of this video. This is one of many, many that I have seen like this. If your true intention is to capture the suspect, why wait 40 days to offer this to the public?

Forty days? This person has had time to grow a 4 inch beard, get a hair transplant, have a sex change operation, change his name three times and relocate six times.

Don't give me "the neighbors with the video might have been out of town". Police could have easily obtained that.

Don't give me the "they didn't want to compromise the investigation". What investigation? How would they compromise the investigation by making this picture public as soon as it became available?

I hope they don't initiate vehicle pursuits 40 days after they receive the call.
